13 Idea (1/2)

Koren left Chief Ipnak's tent together with Enri and Haruki, after Sappa walked in.

Haruki was in a particularly sour mood. ”Big brother fatty is jealous of Uncle Sappa, he's always like this when they meet.” Enri whispered in Koren's ear.

”I can hear you, you little pipsqueak. I'm surprised how Kaph lets you walk all over him.” said Haruki as he glared at Enri.

”Enri, you shouldn't say that about senior brother.” Said Koren with a tone of disapproval.

”Yeh, she should call him chubs, I came up with that nickname, haha haha.” said Hope as she liked to see Haruki get mad.

”Big sis!!.” Yelled Koren at Hope who was laughing, as she hovered over his head.

”ah come on Koren they can't hear me anyways.” Said Hope trying to defend herself.

”but I can hear you.” said Koren disapprovingly.

”You know Koren, I always forget how young and innocent you are. Fine, I will try my best to be nice.” said Hope, finally giving in to Koren.

Haruki looked over at Koren who had just reprimanded Enri. ”Good job kid, you know what. How about I treat you to some food. Let's go to Sumi's inn, they have the best food in the desert.” Said Haruki as he started to rub his belly.

”What about me?” asked Enri in her pixie voice.

Haruki looked at Enri who was starring at him with her eyes wide open. ”You're not invited.” he said strictly.

”OK, I suppose I will tell sister Sumi you were mean to me.” Said Enri in a nonchalant tone.

”You little… OK, fine. You can come, but not a word from your mouth.” Said Haruki as he finally fell for Enri's trick.

The sun set and the moon rose in its place, its light reflecting off the sandy grains. Uther, was sitting in a pit surrounded by dark flames. His draconian scales were shimmering with excitement, and his breath was getting more and more heavy. He stayed in that state for hours, the dark fire had a hint of green in it now.

”That's enough for tonight.” muttered Uther as his breathing slowed and the dark flames retreated back into his body.

Uther walked back to the camp, and as he approached the gate he could see Andre standing next to the guards station waiting for him.

”Sir, the Prince will be arriving tomorrow. What are your orders” Asked Andre with his head down in respect.

”I am no longer your commander, the prince will take over the battalion, I am a lieutenant now, the same as you.” Said Uther as he walked towards his tent

”Sir, with all due respect, the 4th prince has no military experience, his strength is also only subpar, he is not qualified to take 'Your' position of commander.” Said Andre, as he quietly followed behind Uther.

Uther stopped in his footsteps and without turning around said ”Andre, who are you working for.”

Andre was surprised, he looked up at Uther. ”It's like the princess said, you are quite perceptive Sir. What gave me away.” Asked Andre.

”I've been testing your loyalty since the moment you were assigned, needless to say, you failed every time. I've known you to be a spy, just not whose. However, now it seems Princess Elena is the one who won you over.” Said Uther as he turned around to look at Andre.

”Sir, I have always had the highest respect for you, and so does the princess. The 4th prince doesn't deserve your loyalty. If you support the 3rd Princess, she will support your appointment to the vacant position in generals Council.” Said Andre as he reached into his robe and took out a sealed letter.

Uther took the letter from Andre, looked at the seal, turned and continued to walk towards his tent.

”Ahhh, they're finally asleep, get up Koren, we need to go.” said Hope as Kaph and Torp finally started to snore.

Koren had already prepared to sneak out at night, and was just waiting for Kaph and Torp to stop bickering and start snoring.

”I Know.” said Koren as he got up, took his bag that he had prepared in advance, and walked out.

Koren slowly made his way to the village wall. The village wall was made from solid soil rock, it was made using earth elemental spiritualist abilities, hence it was very strong.

As Koren reached the wall, he changed his points to wind, and concentrated the wind power below him. He jumped over the wall silently, without alerting the village guards on night duty. As he reached the other side he looked at Hope at his side and asked ”Now, where do we go big sis.”
